So I tried using the same techniques on eBay that I’ve been using on youtube, and by golly, it worked!
Same exact things do exactly the same on each venue. I can bump up the “view” rate and increase the number of bids, using the same skills and getting the same outcomes.
For about six years, I let one of my eBay sellers go fallow, meaning there were no new listings for at least the past six years.
My main seller was down, due to a total screwup in eBay’s software — it’s fixed now, after 16 hours on the phone and dozens of attempted repairs.
I’m posting things that I’m grabbing off my shelves and putting them up for a dollar, no reserve.
Other things, such as art treasures, I’m posting at the lowest possible wholesale, hoping to sell a LOT of it FAST.
My “hit” rate is really good. Haven’t missed a sale yet, and between both sellers, I’m now over $1,000.00 for the week.
My goal is to bring my sales back up to where they used to be — I was once a Platinum Pro Seller, and I have the certificates and plaques to prove it, plus thousands of positive feedbacks.
Okay, so every day I put up a few things. It adds up fast, and I don’t want to overcrowd the place with thousands of listings all at once. That’s why time exists. So everything doesn’t happen at once. But it does. Sometimes it seems like eternity will never end, but like everything happening all at once, it does.
So I hope you’ll visit my eBay stores, even if you don’t bid on anything, even one lousy dollar.
I won’t take it personally — it’s just that it looks like a pile of garbage to you, not even worth a crummy buck, sigh.
If you bid a dollar on something, you’ll keep my hopes alive, and I’ll be happy to keep posting stuff.
If you FAIL to bid on anything — even one lousy thing — I’ll take it to mean that everything is crap and that I should just give up and fold.
Well, so far, so good … there are at least a couple dozen folks who care about the railroads anymore.
Okay, you win, I’ll post the links now:
See You At The Top!!!
